Creating Chicken Pineapple Stir-Fry is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the chicken, vegetables, and pineapple.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
6. Add Pineapple: Mix in the pineapple chunks and stir until heated through.
7. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey (or brown sugar). If you prefer a thicker sauce, add cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water.
8. Combine Everything: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat everything evenly.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or pepper.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
